Water Surface Cleaning Robot With Detachable Waste Container
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water surface cleaning robots face inconvenience in emptying garbage from the container, as they require tilting the robot body and are prone to overflow when the container is full.
Innovation Solution
A water surface cleaning robot with a detachable container, equipped with a rotating connection structure and locking mechanism for easy access, and a blocking member to prevent overflow, along with a solar panel for power supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the container is fixedly disposed in the robot body, then the structure is stable, but it is inconvenient to empty garbage
Solution Approach 1:
The container is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the robot body. The container includes a bin body that can be removed from the mounting cavity, allowing garbage to be emptied independently without tilting the entire robot body. This segmentation enables easy maintenance and garbage disposal while maintaining structural stability during operation.
2Ease of operation
If the container is open at the top for garbage disposal, then loading is convenient, but garbage overflows when full
Solution Approach 1:
A cover plate is provided that can cover the opening of the container. The cover plate includes a rotating connection structure and locking structure that allow it to be securely positioned over the opening during operation, preventing garbage from overflowing while still allowing convenient access for loading and emptying garbage.
3Ease of operation
If the cover plate is simply hinged, then it is easy to open, but it cannot remain securely closed during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The cover plate integrates both a rotating connection structure for easy opening and a locking structure for secure closure. The locking structure includes a locking tongue that engages with a locking groove and an elastic member that provides automatic locking when the cover plate is closed, ensuring it remains securely closed during operation while maintaining ease of opening when needed.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates convenient garbage disposal by allowing easy removal and replacement of the container, prevents overflow, and enhances operational efficiency with solar power, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
Implementation Method 1
a solar panel, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the power supply
Implementation Method 2
a first elastic member connected between the unlocking handle and the base, the first elastic member being configured to drive the unlocking handle to reset the locking tongue when the external force applied to the unlocking handle is removed
